    Implement automatic build process for new Status Core · 15f96d39
    Jens Korinth authored
    * there is a subproject that is included as a subtree in
      common/ip/tapasco_status
    * subproject is standalone and can be run from Tcl
    * changed process in common.tcl: createTapascoStatus now generates a
      JSON configuration file and runs sbt in the subproject
    * each Composition gets its unique status core
    * status cores are cached in tapasco-status-cache in the main dir:
      when building the same composition a number of times, status cores can
      be reused; is removed automatically in sbt clean
    * required more API extensions: platform::get_address_map must be
      implemented by the Platform to communicate the address mapping to the
      status core creation
    * also added formal interface to capabilities in common.tcl:
      tapasco::add_capability_flag, tapasco::get_capability_flags and
      tapasco::set_capability_flags can be used by plugins to activate
      capability bits
    * whole process should be transparent to the user, everything is
      supposed to work as before
    * one exception: get_address_map is not yet implemented on VC709
